June 27, 2018 — AKVIS announces Sketch 20.5, an award-winning program for conversion of photos into pencil sketches and watercolor paintings. Version 20.5 offers the Notification Panel, the Eyedropper tool, some tools improvements and fixed bugs.

AKVIS Sketch converts digital photos into unbelievably realistic pencil sketches and watercolor drawings - B&W or color. The software is both user-friendly and rich with possibility. There are two photo-to-sketch styles: Classic and Artistic, each with dozens of built-in presets to give you starter points and inspiration. You can either use the Express mode that is especially configured for ease of use for the customer or switch to the Advanced mode that enables full control over every aspect of the drawing.

The software runs on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10; Mac OS X 10.7-10.11 and macOS 10.12-10.13. The product is available as a standalone application and as a plugin filter for AliveColors, Adobe Photoshop and other image editors.
